Explanation / Answer

Here ,

speed of paper relative to girl , vp = 18 mi/hr

speed of girl , vg = 22 mi/hr

speed of light , c = 35 mi/hr

for the speed of paper v

v = (vg + vp)/(1 _ vg * vp/c^2)

v = (18 + 22)/(1 + 18 * 22/35^2)

v = 30.23 mi/hr

speed of paper relative to graound is 30.23 mi/hr
